Germanwatch's reported carbon emissions
In 2022, Germanwatch did not disclose specific carbon emissions data, including Scope 1, 2, or 3 emissions. The organisation has not set any reduction targets or initiatives as part of its climate commitments. Germanwatch's focus appears to be on raising awareness about the carbon emissions associated with various agricultural products, particularly in the meat and dairy sectors. For instance, the emissions associated with the production of different types of meat and dairy are significant, with figures such as approximately 15,590 kg CO2e per tonne for beef, 4,790 kg CO2e per tonne for pork, 3,250 kg CO2e per tonne for chicken, and 1,420 kg CO2e per tonne for cow's milk. Currently, there are no cascaded emissions data or reduction targets from parent organisations, indicating that Germanwatch operates independently in this regard. The absence of specific emissions data and reduction commitments highlights a potential area for future development in their climate strategy.
